Genial e infravalorado el gran Hines.Hay que reivindicar su importancia y legado en posteriores pianistas.

Setlist: 00:05 Let the Good Times Roll 05:15 Hard Head 09:19 Saturday Night Fish Fry 14:37 Is You Is or Is You Ain’t My Baby 19:42 Red Top 24:48 Ain’t Nobody Here but Us Chickens

So I started playing some early country guitar , that lead me to rockabilly , which lead me to jump blues then back to swing and bebop and now Louis Jordan is my all time favorite. So many great songs that I can’t not move to. Been learning a few to perform , wish I knew some horn players

Earl Hines! Quedé asombrado por su estilo, muy original para la época

Excellente

I'm a longtime fan of Louis Jordan, whom I consider to be one of the fathers of rock 'n' roll. IMO, Louis Jordan's music, which I discovered in the late '70s, was (and remains) a definitive influence on generations of rockers, R&B, blues and Western swing players. Chuck Berry cited him as a primary influence, and the more you study Chuck's music and career, the more can see the imprint of Louis Jordan, not just musically but also in terms of Chuck's use of language/wordplay and humor, just like Louis did it. I was curious about this video, and with a little research I saw that Jordan recorded an album titled "I Believe in Music" for the Black & Blue label in France, released in 1973, two years before he died. (I had forgotten, but I own that record! :^) Saxophonist Irv Cox, who appears here, also performed on that recording. So, I'd date this at 1973 or so. (Someone else here mentioned 1974. Could be...) Mr. Jordan still has his vocal and sax chops here, even at this late stage in his life. I'm very glad to see this video, and thanks for posting it!!

Wonderful Louis Jordan and Infinite Elegance by Irv Cox !!!

Born in 1903 for reference.

Stride master, jazz inventor, piano ruler. One of the absolute best ever.

👍👏😊♥️🇺🇸

A découvrir absolument. Une légende ❤❤❤

What's the first song?

I'm 34, and only discovered this legend recently. I'm blown away 🤯

1 to

Louis Jordan is marvelous Rock and Blues musicians love Louis !!!

This is simply wonderful! ❤

I have this awesome talented man's song on 78 rpm. I'm talkin' about Saturday Night Fish Fry!

They all followed him.Art . Erroll etc . He is still the man 😊👍

The Man that caused shock waves across the piano world . Still the man always will be . Love Earl soooooo original in everyway

Class is class!

He was truly the first, I'm 80, I remember.

For said footage to end on "Tenderly" seems apt... Best to all...

Louis Jordan could easily be considered the first Rapper. Saturday Night Fish Fry is certainly a Hip Hop record. Jordan rhymed throughout his songs.

That band was jamming and Irv Cox smoking on that tenor.And you easily see Louis Jordan could still wail and rock on that alto

Louis Jordan invented rock and roll. Everyone else is a poser.

Según Stuart Isacoff, Fatha Hines fue uno de los inflamables del piano. Sus improvisaciones lúcidas, tiernas, o feroces marcarían una época irrenunciable del jazz

that "Hard Head" number was hard to even listen to. Just realized that Santana's "Evil Ways" has some similar epithets ("when I come home...my house is dark and my pots are cold")

The most creative and original pianist ever (with Monk) and one of the creator of jazz piano with JR Morton, JP Johnson, Fats Waller, Eubie Blake and Willie the Lion Smith

The gold era

Noping out on that. A chick walking right in? Well, on your bike Jordan.

Some prefer Art Tatum, but I think golden rings are good for playing piano.

Discovered him through the Malcom X biopic I was like what was that?! Rock or jazz or what?! :)

Think i'm starting to understand white privilege

He doesn't love what he's doing much. Me either.

big up, Jordan

I'm so glad I found him

Sublime.

Incroyable!…Sur une TV française ou Suisse? ! Quelle émission? En quelle année?

Pure Gold!!! What A Legend - Louis was Red Pill AF

Marvellous

Laissez Les Bon Temps Roleur!! :D

Amazing

One of my favorite musicians of all time. There have ben only a handful of musicians who could sing, ply and write this well. And, yes, Lincoln is right, there would be no R&B or rock n roll with Louis Jordan and the Tympani 5. Thanks for posting this.
